Can I copy the current content of my iPod nano 7 en masse to an iPad, rather than have to replicate the content item by item?
I've had an iPod Nano 7 (16 GB) for just over a year, and I don't sync my entire music library at once--just a few gigs of favorites plus current podcast episodes and an occasional audiobook. I recently received a second-hand 3rd generation iPad (also 16GB) as a gift, and pondered adding at least a portion of the music I carry on the Nano to the iPad. Is there a simple method in iTunes to just transfer the content from one to the other, rather than having to go over the list of songs on the Nano and transfer them from my PC to the iPad one by one? I've already tried copy & paste and drag & drop methods from iPod to iPad directly, and neither of those appear to be options in iTunes.
Barring that, is there a wired or wireless option for the two devices to communicate directly with each other, and allow the content on the Nano to play through the iPad--essentially using the iPad's sound system as speakers for the Nano, and eliminate the need to carry headphones or a portable speaker for the Nano? Note that I mean the two linking directly to one another, without using a wi-fi network (as I don't have a portable wi-fi hotspot) or other method of outside connection (the iPad is not cellular-capable). Just on a lark, I turned the Bluetooth capability on for both devices, and neither device detected the other, so I see that connecting via Bluetooth doesn't seem to be an option. (You may also note by the above that my understanding of wireless connectivity in general is limited, so feel free to correct me about any misunderstandings that the above may indicate).
Thanks for taking the time to read.
The simplest method would have been to use one or more playlists to control what you sync to the iPod nano. You could then sync that same set of playlists to the new device. You cannot sync directly from one device to the other. All content is copied from iTunes. You may be able to export one or more XML playlists from the device, import those back into iTunes, and then add the playlists to your iPad.

Make sure your computer meets the iPod shuffles requirements for Mac.

Make sure you are using the cable for the USB port on your Mac that came with the shuffle.
With iTunes open click iTunes / Check for Updates.. -
I have a TI-92+ calculator, and the TI Connect software to sync it.
Since the 10.6.8 update, I can't access the calculator to add software.
The cable reads as present in System Profiler.
Also, my iPod Nano is flashing yellow but not mounting in iTunes.
I am wondering if 10.6.8 is blocking a port the TI Connect software needs.
The iTunes issue might be resolved by ripping iTunes out, deleting it, and reinstalling it.
But I tried that with TI Connect and it didn't help.
I just got a bunch of software to put on the calculator and can't access it !It depends on what iMac you have. If it is an old PPC (G4 orG5) iMac then no further upgrades are possible. If it an Intel iMac:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
or Mountain Lion:

Depends on whether you have Apple do it or a third party repair company (which will be much cheaper). Here are Apple's repair quotes.

How can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account
how can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account
On the computer in iTunes log into her Apple ID and then see if recent purchases are shown by clicking on her name in iTunes, entering her password and then selecting the option. If there is nothing there then she bought that music with a different Apple ID.
You can use TouchCopy to move all the songs on the iPod to the computer. Then try to play one of the purchase songs and it should show the account used to purchase it and ask for the password. -
i want to watch a rented movie on my ipad while I am travelling. Do I have to download the movie from itunes from my ipad or do I access itunes from my desktop then just sync my ipad to watch the movie on my ipad?
Yes that is correct. However there is one slight difference with rented content, in that you need to transfer it to your iPad rather than simply sync. You can do this by selecting the rental in iTunes from the left hand side of the iTunes window and choosing the transfer option.
Yes it will be transferred to the video app on your iPad. -
can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.
Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it. -
Can the wiki be configured to link to a file already on the server rather than uploading it into the page? This would enable users to open (and edit) the original server hosted document rather than downloading a static copy that can't be edited and synced back into the wiki page.
As a workaround I've tried attaching an alias to a file but it doesn't work - the wiki instead uploads the aliased file.
From what I can work out, the default wiki behaviour is to upload a document to a wiki page, which creates a copy of the uploaded document in the wiki database. This copy has no connection to the original document. It can be downloaded and edited, but the edits are not saved back into the wiki hosted version of the document.
I'd like to be able to upload a link or alias to a document (with preview please!) already on the server. A user could then preview the document or click to open and edit it.
The only way I can do this at the moment is to create a link "afp://123.../doc.rtf" to the original. This is timeconsuming and confusing for non-technical users and doesn't offer the benefits of the attach function (ie document preview).
Is there any way the wiki can be configured to link to documents already on the server using the attach functionality?An update for anyone in a similar situation.
Patch 3944727 for 9.0.4.1 that solves this issue: "USER LOV IASM11SHIP EDIT USER LOV SHOULD SHOW THE NICKNAME ATTRIBUTE." However, the patch is mutually exclusive with the latest CPU's and there's no plan to merge the pacthes given the dwindling support for 9.0.4.1. So that patch is pretty much worthless.
I've been told that this patch is included in newer portal versions, so the real solution is an upgrade.

hello! how can i put and read my words documents in the notes pad of my ipod nano 3trd generation?thanks to all.
The Notes features of the 3G iPod Nano only supports TXT files and not Word Documents. If you want to be able to read these word documents, you'll need to copy the text from each over to a text file. See here for more information.

Keep in mind that each txt file has a limit of 4096 characters. See this article for more information as well.

My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving only the 9 songs I last purchased. When I try to sync, I get a message, "cannot be synced because the iPod cannot be found."
When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details. -

Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix this. I can not update any of the apps associated with that user name.
Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.

When I try to update IOS 6 to my I Phone using my computer, it keeps saying This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version. It won't let me update and I don't have wi fi
It seems that you try to update iTunes rather than your phone. To update your phone, connect it to your computer, and on the page of your phone in iTunes, you should have a button "check for updates" or something similar.
